devoutness
Deep spiritual commitment
Devoutness is the quality of being deeply religious or earnestly devoted.
It suggests sincere, heartfelt commitment rather than mere outward observance: Her devoutness was evident in her daily prayers.
The word can extend beyond religion to describe intense dedication to any cause or practice: his devoutness to the craft of woodworking.
